take home chronicles: cobblestone

devin's achilles heel (second after me of course) is european cobblestone. it is not unusual to see him in the middle of a busy square hunched over, mesmerized, and wanting to memorize that perplexing pattern. once he got his chapstick out and was taking pictures to get the dimensions right and was in the way of almost everyone, and i especially loved belonging to him at that moment-i also wished i had another camera to capture it. he has been known to stop the car in the middle of the road to try and pry a loose rock free. he hasn't succeeded yet, but our trunk does have three cobble stones in it from a construction site. so endearing, but so not coming back in my suitcase.








i really hope he's figured the pattern out, heaven knows i haven't. i'll let him stare and hunch, park cars and pry rocks, block traffic and picture-take all he wants because who wouldn't want a driveway like that? well, i guess i probably wouldn't in snowy utah. but, still.
